To make Gingerbread Snowflake Treats, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
This recipe makes about 24 Gingerbread Snowflake Treats.
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and flatten each portion into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the dough and place the snowflakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow the snowflakes to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the Gingerbread Snowflake Treats have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for a snowy effect. Serve and enjoy!
These Gingerbread Snowflake Treats are a perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with a soft and chewy texture. They are a great addition to any holiday dessert table and are sure to impress your guests.
